'Gallifrey' doesn't really rhyme with 'legatee'/Gallifrey is mispronounced
as 'Gallifree'.

What encyclopaedia has Winston Churchill, the Industrial Revolution
and the fire of London in the same volume?

The Doctor wasn't in 'K9 and Company' so how would be know if it
was canonical or not? (Let alone know the story to sing about it!)

When the Doctor's singing, how does he sing two parts at the same
time in the third song? (He later says Evelyn hasn't been singing!) [Are
they actually singing or is it merely a narrative device?]

Double Entendres: 'It just slipped out,'

Dialogue Triumphs: End of episode 2.

''If onlys' don't work. Even in time travel. Well, mostly.'

Continuity: [A lot of this is tricky to know if it's true or
not, but assuming any bit not flatly contradicted is...] Red Jasper is
only a minor pirate in history (the Doctor hasn't heard of him). His boat
is called "The Adventurer's Fancy". He and One-Eye Trent served under
Ezecial Bones, "the most feared man to sail the Caribbean".

The Doctor has supposedly met Winston Churchill (advised him on policy),
was in the Industrial Revolution (he was the first one to spin the jenny),
and doesn't like to talk about the Great Fire of London. He knows that
a slow match under the fingernail will burn to the bone, and has a high
pain threshold. He claims to have inspired the Mikado and met Albert Gilbert
(this meeting is established way back in 'Inside the Spaceship') . The Doctor
considers himself the very model of a Gallifreyan buccaneer. <deep breath>
He understand dimensional and relative chronometry, he's acquainted with
matters of the Capitol including Panopticon protocol. He understands each
language and he speaks each vernacular. He was offered the presidential
office, although he was eventually ousted out. He knows what it's like
to be a wanted man on the run. He's sailed all seven seas of Earth and
oceans of the moon [poetic licence? They're not real oceans!]. The term
'preacher' has been used to describe him, but it's not something he does
for a living. The Doctor has in his pockets a yo-yo, string, first edition
of War and Peace, an apple and a tube of freshmint-flavoured toothpaste.
The Doctor can navigate by the celestial bodies (i.e. stars). He is an
excellent tree climber. He swam against Captain Webb in the Channel. He
has spent many hours on an exercise cycle(!).

The 19th Century is not Evelyn's period. She likes Andrew Lloyd Webber
musicals. Evelyn can bake cakes (hardly news) but is not very good at telling
stories and embellishes them terribly. She says people in the past are
always impressed by chocolate.

Location: Somewhere in the Caribbean Sea, sometime between
1702-1714. London, present day (about a week later subjective time for
the Doctor and Evelyn).

Who doesn't like a tale of pirates? Certainly this is an extraordinarily
fun adventure, especially after recent audios, but still with an underlying
touch of serious that gives the story an extra oomph. Episode Three is
especially wonderful, with everyone showing off their singing talents splendidly.
And yet another version on the theme tune!
